The Thomas Moore Songbook

by Una Hunt

50,85€ + 10% CARD

 The Irish songwriter, Thomas Moore (1779-1852) enjoyed enormous popularity during and after his lifetime and his celebrity was summed up by his friend, Lord Byron, who declared him: «The poet of all circles and the idol of his own». Yet, despite his seminal role in the development of Irish national song, few modern editions have been made available and none focus on the earliest piano arrangements published during Moores lifetime and the decades following his death. This new critical edition collects together for the first time in one volume selected original arrangements of the world-famous Irish Melodies for solo voice and duet along with other successful English-language songs to texts by Moore and foreign-language settings by Schumann, Mendelssohn, Berlioz and Duparc. Several aspects were considered in choosing songs such as their historical significance as well as their usefulness to the performer and impact in performance and the beauty of the vocal content and the partnering accompaniments. The Thomas Moore Songbook will appeal to a broad spectrum of academics, practitioners and teachers of singing as well as those with a deep interest in Irish history, culture and heritage.

 «...a seminar worthy of Harvard, Yale or Oxbridge.» DEAGLÁN DE BRÉADÚN, THE IRISH TIMES «Without clear political leadership, the current economic crisis and the challenges of globalization might actually undermine some of the foundations of democracy.» DR DIARMUID MARTIN, ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN «As a former Chairman of AIB, the first thing for me to say in plain and unvarnished language is that some serious mistakes were made in Irish banking and there is no getting away from that.» DERMOT GLEESON SC «We have to have the best teachers teaching in the subjects vital to the countrys interests. From my perspective these are the STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.» JIM OHARA, CHIEF EXECUTIVE, INTEL (IRELAND) «Certain professions have yet to play their part and have yet to tell us how they will reduce their fees and charges.» MARY COUGHLAN TD, TÁNAISTE AND MINISTER FOR ENTERPRISE, TRADE & EMPLOYMENT «The litany of bad practice we have since learned about, pertaining to activities within the banking sector, has varied from the incompetent to the morally suspect to the illegal.» SENATOR DAN BOYLE, CHAIRMAN GREEN PARTY «The first; where did all the money go? The second; will anyone go to jail? The first is easy to answer; it was never there in the first place. The second is tricky; we do not know yet.» DAVID MURPHY, BUSINESS EDITOR, RTÉ «In the end, when it comes to day-to-day expenditure, a state is like a household, it has to live within its means.» BRIAN LENIHAN TD, MINISTER FOR FINANCE «We built a strong, open, exporting economy but it was hijacked by property developers and speculators.» EAMON GILMORE TD, LEADER LABOUR PARTY

«Mirror Up To Nature» - The Fourth Seamus Heaney Lectures

19,54€ + 10% CARD

 Ours would appear to be an era of unprecedented variation in the mediation of meaning television, computer, the older forms of radio and print. Since, however, such profusion of resources has not of itself guaranteed enhanced profundity or sophistication in our modes of understanding psychological, sociological, philosophical, historical, and theological the issue of the continued relevance of cultural forms, dependent both on the human voice and on ritualization, presents itself for consideration. How may modern people most tellingly relate to such overwhelmingly verbal processes as teaching, be it an erudite lecture or a classroom lesson with infants? Is singing, in the words of Tom Murphy, the only way to tell people who you are? What, in particular, is the contemporary usefulness for the building of societies of one of our oldest and culturally valued rituals, that of drama? The Fourth Seamus Heaney Lectures, Mirror up to Nature: Drama and Theatre in the Modern World, given at St Patricks College, Drumcondra, between October 2006 and April 2007, addressed these and related questions. The gifted play director, Patrick Mason, spoke with exceptional insight on the essence of theatre. Thomas Kilroy, distinguished playwright and critic, dealt with the topic of Irelands contribution to the art of theatre. Two world authorities, Cecily ONeill and Jonothan Neelands, gave inspiring accounts of the rich potential of drama in the classroom. Brenna Katz Clarke, Head of English at St Patricks College, offered a delightful examination of the relationship between drama and film. Finally, John Buckley, internationally acclaimed composer, spoke on opera and its history, while giving an illuminating account of his own Words Upon The Window-Pane.

I Love Craft. I Love The Word - The Theatre Of Deirdre Kinahan

57,24€ + 10% CARD

 Over the last twenty years Deirdre Kinahan has emerged as a significant and original female voice in Irish theatre, with her plays produced in Ireland, the UK, the USA and across mainland Europe. Her work explores issues of personal and communal identity, bringing forward the difficulties that arise for individuals when accepted narratives of identity diverge from contemporary experience. In this collection of ten original essays, and an interview with the playwright, the authors address the ways in which Kinahans plays interrogate and seek to renegotiate value systems of family, class, ethnicity, age and gender in the 21st century neoliberal, secular state, with an emphasis on experimental forms and the renewal of the genre of the family play. Theoretical frameworks rely on feminism, intersectionality, genre studies, and age studies, among other approaches, by authors from Ireland, the UK, Hungary, the USA, Nigeria, Canada and Taiwan.
